Save St John’s 110 yr old Church and Hall in Donvale

With the current active destruction of Manningham’s character through overdevelopment, the people wish to retain some of our historical foundations so that future generations can learn of and from the past - so much evidence of Manningham’s history is already gone.

The site of the 110 year old church and hall at 283 Springvale Rd was sold to Manningham Council in the 1970’s for the use of and care by the Council. It reflects poorly on councils past that in 2006, a property heritage report was ignored and the property was sold in 2008.

In 2016, the Council voted to save the buildings, but the newly formed Council reversed this decision in March 2017. This needs rectifying and it’s not too late.
